[Clinical functional diagnosis of obstructed nasal respiration].

The quality of clinical functional diagnostic concerning obstructed nasal respiration is subject to the diagnostic unity of anamnesis, inspection and rhinomanometry. Only then one can understand the pathological value of a respiratory obstruction, which consists of the objectifiable permeability and one subjective factor. Indispensable for making the permeability objective are a standardized functional measuring gauge, the application of the laws of physics concerning flux and rhinomanometry. This is the only way in which we shall succeed in getting definite diagnoses and in reaching the comparability of our diagnostic and therapeutical actions.
